Question Opinions
The time has come for new tires,last yr I spent $1050 on Nitto NT555 Extreme stock 235/50-18ZR.I have a Chance to buy my rims back Boss 328 new never mounted for $500,which I sold them for $900.But I have to buy tires & TPS then get mounted,balance,& aligned which would be $1600-1700.

Then this comes into play I can get a set of 18's or 20's American Racing rims and tires for $1650 both sizes with tires.I'm stuck on which rims I want the boss or American racing,and its within the same price range.

Rims are

chrome Boss 328

Or

American Racing Villains black w/machine finish.

I'd say just replace your worn out tires and use the rest of the money for an intake swap.

Oh well then I kind of like the villians. I plan on getting a set for DRs when I have the funds unless I find a used set that will work when the time comes

The boss wheels are hideous. Just send them to me and I will dispose of them for you.

Make sure to post plenty of pics. I've been thinking of going to twenties for while now instead of powder coating my ASA's that I have now.
